Case report: spontaneous rupture of the spleen due to dengue fever

L E C Miranda et al. Braz J Infect Dis. 2003 Dec.

Abstract

Spontaneous rupture of the spleen has been described in cases of hematologic, neoplasic and infectious diseases, or resulting from pancreatitis. We report a rare case of spontaneous splenic rupture, and favorable evolution after splenectomy, in a patient with dengue fever, which occurred during the last outbreak of dengue fever in Brazil.
